FFF

Re: FFF

  • I gotta be honest, everybody that's most likely to say something that pisses me off is on SB. (oh mah gawd, I brought it up! oh noes!) I think if E and SB were forced to interact with one another on the same board (as in like E used to be) things would be a hell of a lot more interesting. It's been boring as shiit since the migration. Or whatever you want to call it.

  • I was thinking the same thing LC, but I was afraid to bring it up.

    The Royal Wedding board was kind of weird where it brought people together that usually post on separate boards.

    I still do sometimes. I dont like when people don't like me and I had a run there where it seemed like no one did - it makes me anxious sometimes. And I'm so damn exciteable that I know I annoy people - like I obviously did this week.

    At least I'm better than I used to be, I hope.

    No. Something Irish, one of those that has consonants that aren't pronounced like they appear. Not Siobhan, but like Siobhan. Something. Crap. I don't even remember a letter besides S, so I can't google it.

  • Yeah, I'm at the point that I'm not 'afraid' anymore, so I'm going to do a call out right then and there. Not start a whole post or anything, but call them a d!ck right there in the thread. Except not a d!ck because I try to get my point across without being too bitchy.

  • I'm pretty okay with this new board dynamic. I feel like we're our own happy little community. Sometimes the drama in the past was entertaining to watch, but I never wanted to get involved. And I don't really think it's worth the hurt feelings, because things got personal. I'm just generally not an angry person, so I'm totally happy with all of us being friends.

    AHAHAHA.  YES.

    No, it was Saoirse (SEER-sha), which is Gaelic for "freedom".  H is Irish and he's partial to Irish names.

    I wasn't upset with Bubbalub.  I admit that I was a little taken aback when she first questioned it, but when I found out her reasons I understood.  When you are really passionate about something, it's hard not to mention it.  And I do appreciate her bringing it to my attention.  I don't know if we'll change our idea (we are, after all, talking about a name for a child who hasn't been conceived yet), but it's still good to have all the info.

    Yeah this is one of the few times I've ever talked about it for fear of someone being all "you weren't there, you weren't directly involved, blah blah blah." which is bullshit. Because I was a reg when it happened and I watched the whole thing. I chose to keep my mouth shut about it because I wanted to keep friends on both sides. But that's stupid. If I want to talk about it, I'm going to and I dare someone to tell me my opinion on it isn't valid.

  • Well, not "Use" them...bad language I guess. I can't fuucking explain myself today for some reason, lol.

    Please tell me someone understands what I'm saying? I'd prefer to flame newbs...see how they react and see if they'd be cool to get to know as regs? Ugh, I can't explain it.

    I guess I am trying to hard...but that's not what I'm "trying" to do...lol. That makes no sense.

    IGNORE ME TODAY.

  • No, I don't get it. Sorry. They aren't your play things. They are actual people on the other side of the screen. Sometimes they are morons, sometimes they are honestly just clueless. I think it's bull to arbitrarily flame someone to get your rocks off just because you don't want to flame your friends.

  • I have an actual flame! 

    There's a girl on my month who perpetually talks about how poor she is.  Whatever, you strapped for cash, join the millions of others who don't complain about it.  Then she had the balls to write on a thread about someone getting a generous wedding gift that it's the only time she doesn't hate rich people.  WTF?  Get over yourself.  That is so rude.

  • The name was Saoirse. But Goebbels made me spit my water out. Literally.
  • Sometimes with reg flames too I feel like people think they are going to get jumped on for it.  

    But here, I'll give my reg flame.  Or at least I think she counts as a reg.  I flame Poli for always coming into posts and basicallly always seeming to have a "lets all get along attitude," or questioning anything that can be taken possibly the wrong way.  The last one I can for sure think of was during a KPS post, where the poster said her H had sex with her while she was sleeping, and she had went to bed without underwear on.  People were discussing the secret, and some people talked about sleep sex.  Loopy's comment was that if she goes to bed without underwear on it's a go-ahead for H, and Poli called her out saying she was blaming the victim.  Really, why would you read so far into the comment?

  • Dnb, I thought the same thing when I read that thread. 

    I know we all have our soapboxes, but that one was irritating. I didn't think Loopy was attacking the victim. (Btw, I do like Poli in general, just not in that specific thread.)

    I agree. I think when I first started posting here I wanted to be cool so I would save any issues for FFF. But now its like, why store it up for FFF or AYG? Have the guts to call the person out on it IN THAT THREAD ON THAT BOARD. I don't get it.

    Posted by LDYGTR13[/QUOTE]

    LDY, this goes along with the whole "trying to be a mean girl" schtick in my mind. Why would you use new posters just to create drama for entertainment? Reel it back a notch - like someone (can't remember who, cold medicine, sorry) said, people like you. You can relax.

    And I just saw your follow up to this, but it still sounds just as bad. I know what you mean, but pushing people's buttons just because they're new is called hazing. Just let them settle in normally and see if they can hang in the drama that comes up organically, don't create it arbitrarily.

    <div>Exactly.  Kiki I definitely know what you mean, but lately she just seems to preach to everyone.  I think it first started bothering me in the huge FFF/E/SB love fest when she came into the thread at the end, saying she wasn't going to read it all and basically mentioned GBCK'ing because of the fighting.  I get not liking fighting, but what a board is known for it (whether or not it's true anymore) and you're so against it, why would you choose to poost on that board?</div>
